Peter Ndlovu allegedly beats up his girlfriend

Former Premier League star (well, former Premier League player with memorable surname who scored a couple of decent goals, at least) Peter Ndlovu has been arrested for allegedly beating up his girlfriend. The ex-Coventry, Birmingham, Huddersfield and Sheffield United striker was arrested in South Africa after a complaint by the equally memorable monikered Pinky Duda.

Duda’s police statement read: “We argued and I pushed him. He then started to punch me in my face with fists. I sustained injuries on my left hand and bruises on my face. He was assaulting me in front of my three-year-old son.”

Ndlovu allegedly then went outside to get a car jack before smashing windows in the house. The row had started because Duda was angry that Ndlovu’s ex-girlfriend was frequently calling the house.

He turned himself into police last week, but Duda later withdrew the allegations after a meeting between the couple’s families.
